Hi everyone, just realising just how much work I need to put in to bring my work up to standard and thankfully found my way here. Been setting daily training tasks for myself for about a month now and CD looks like the place to continue that work ethic.

Started with portrait work for the last couple of year (http://www.mute-art.com)

Looking to expand

Hi, I'm a 18yo student from Finland. I have drawn my whole life and I'm somewhat determined to have a career as an artist. I find my art quite sloppy and a have a very realistic view on it, so I'll be trying to develop as an artist and find crimson daggers a great community for such developement. I'll propably start a sketchbook thread and try get myself involved into the community.

My name is Chris and I work in the games industry in the UK. I'm constantly tinkering with 2d art in my spare time and part of that is trying to participate and learn online. It's a long journey and I always feel like I'm at the beginning, but I guess that's the nature of the beast!

Well ! My name is Joshua Cairós and I am a Spanish illustrator. In deviant art you can find me with my nick 1oshuart.
I find it a little bit difficult to speak English but I'm learning to improve it, so I hope you forgive me for my mistakes U.U
I hope to have a great time here and meet new people and, if I have time, I would like to participate in "bloodsports challenge" since I think it's an exciting way to improve.

see you

Hey everyone, my name's Max Davenport. I'm a game artist fresh out of school and I figured I'd join here to get involved in the community and to get better artistically. Thanks for checking this out, I'm sure I'll be posting more soon.

Howdy, dear people from the crimson daggers-boards!
My name is Mike, I´m 22 (recently had birthday, which is why i try not to get toooo worked up about already being 22 >_<) and i live in Austria! Over the past 2 years I´ve been studying rights at a University in Vienna(though i hate it and just started it, as my parents urged me to. i´ve been fooling myself, as drawing is actually the only thing i can genuinly enjoy in life )
I´ve always been into art( I used to be a huge manga-fan, as an artist called Ogure Ito once inspired me to pick up a pen and just try to find out,where it might take me, though i kinda got lost on track), but never enough to actually strife for some higher planes of artistic skills. Though i feel bad about this by now, i recently (May´11) stumbled upon an artist named Xia Taptara who got me genuinly interested in digital arts by his natural flow of working and creating inspiring pieces. Starting from that point on, I found myself scribbling and doodling much more regularly, while also scavenging through the intrawebs in search of more inspiration to keep myself motivated. Somewhere around that point i found out about studios such as sixmorevodka and massive black and came to know the works of other digital artists through sites lke cghub.com (where I´m still just lurking, as I´m not that confident yet to post something). >_<

I found out about this site while browsing through deviantart, and decided I wanted to be part of a serious group of artists for once to broaden my knowledge and improve myself not only as an artist, but also as a human being, striving after the same dreams together with other art-inspired people!

My aim is to become an awesome game-artist one day and reach my personal limit of artistic expression and overcome it. :< I want to feel more alive than before and share this experience with you from now on!

ps: i´d like to leave a link to me deviantart-gallery, so you can get yourself a picture where i stand now http://d3athb3rrymon.deviantart.com/

Hello everyone,

I'm Prospass, I'm french, I'm 22, and I'm tired of sucking at drawing!
This forum seems to be a good place to start getting better.
I've been following Crimson Daggers since awhile now, and I finally decided to get involved when a friend urged me to enter the Bloodsport #06.

So here I am! Let's get to work,

Lots of love,

Prospass

Hi I am James Wu, I am new to this site. I joined this site because I read Dan's post on the deathline challenge and I am sick of being a loser.

Hi I have been out of traditional art. I have been doing 3D computer stuff but the expense and the community are not what it used to be. I still feel creative and want to do art so i said get back to painting and drawing. Well I just started painting again after 30 years (48 years old)of not doing it i am picking up on it and hope to get into a few of the competitions you have here to hone my skills and humble myself.
